Analytical and Simulation Models for Real-Time Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we present a discussion of analytical and simulation models which have been developed for the purpose of assessing/predicting the performance of local area network (LANs) used to interconnect distributed, real- time simulation and training devices. Via these models, we examine three different network access protocols; Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) (1), Token-Ring (2), and Virtual Token-Passing Bus Access (3). The implications of the comparison study and insight gained from our research for improving real-time simulation networks are discussed.
